The University of Michigan Pro Day for their NFL Draft eligible players has attracted a lot of decision makers from countless NFL teams. As reported by Jim Nagy of SeniorBowl.com, no college has ever had as many players participate in a pro day, and no team has more representatives in Ann Arbor than the Chicago Bears. Chicago holds the the first and ninth overall picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Bears contingent at the Michigan Pro Day includes:

Ryan Poles (General Manager); Matt Eberflus (Head Coach); Shane Waldron (Offensive Coordinator); Kerry Joseph (Quarterbacks Coach); Chris Beatty (Wide Receivers Coach)

Who could the Bears be interested in at the Michigan Pro Day?

JJ McCarthy (QB) is at the top of the list for Ryan Poles and company. From the beginning of the offseason, Poles has stated that they will be doing a thorough and exhaustive search for the next Bears signal caller. They will leave no stone unturned when looking for the heir apparent to Justin Fields, who was recently traded to the Steelers. McCarthy has reportedly been climbing draft boards and may be taken in the top five of the draft. While it looks like the Bears are going to select Caleb Williams with the first overall pick, the Bears are doing their due diligence and are sure to be interested in seeing McCarthy.

Roman Wilson (WR) is probably the most likely Michigan Man to have his name called by Chicago. With their recent addition of Keenan Allen, the Bears are less likely to use their second first round selection on a receiver. While it’s still quite possible they choose a receiver with that pick, it is looking more and more like they’ll select an edge rusher. As of now, their next selection in the draft would come in round 3 (75th overall) and would be a great place to draft Wilson, a tough, 5’11” possession type WR (think Wayne Chrebet) who is best in the slot and would fit in well with Allen and DJ Moore.
